Italy
Sicily,
the largest Mediterranean island, has a rich history reflected in sites like the Valley of the Temples, the well-preserved ruins of 7 monumental, Doric-style Greek temples, and in the Byzantine mosaics. On Sicily’s eastern edge is Mount Etna, one of Europe’s highest active volcanoes.
Sardinia,
Sardinia's ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, rocky coasts, and long sandy beaches, are metaphorically described as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have extolled the beauty of its long-untouched landscapes.
